Streetlights are often positioned adjacent or above an area to be illuminated, such as a street, walkway, or other location. Utilizing conventional mounting approaches, such streetlights are often cumbersome or inefficient in terms of mounting and/or servicing. Conventional streetlight mounting systems frequently provide surface personnel with a less than desirable level of access to internal elements, such as mounting hardware and electrical systems.

Need exists for an improved capability to access internal areas of the base and elements and components located inside the base. An improved door and improved door mechanisms are needed. Need exists for better security features. Further need exists for improvements in terms of reliability, economy, compactness, and visual appeal, so as not to detract from cityscapes, for example.
A capability addressing such need, or some other related deficiency in the art, would support economically providing illumination to streets and other areas.
